“Whatever I need to change, I’m trying to do it right now,” he said after staying late to take jumpers after practice today. “For me it’s just about trying to shoot every shot the same and shoot it with confidence.

“The percentage isn’t gonna change much. I could shoot 75 percent the rest of the season and it’ll still be low, so I’m not worried about that. I don’t even know what the percentage is. It’s just about taking shots in rhythm. I’ve gotta do a better job trying to shoot within the flow.”

The upside for Winslow is he hasn’t been bad all year. There have been stretches where he showed the potential to develop into a very good shooter, and he still expects to grow into a long-range threat.

“I want to be,” he said. “It’s gonna take time and be a process. Look at Josh (Richardson). Josh didn’t come in shooting like that. He put in the work and he’s shooting a great percentage now. Same with me. I’m putting in work behind the scenes and struggling sometimes, but other games the jumper’s going. It’s about staying the course and keeping working hard and believing in yourself.”

Considering everything the Heat have said about his work ethic, and that he’s only 19, it’s almost a given that he’ll improve.

He had a run of nine games in November when he shot 47.6 percent and another nine-game stretch starting in late January when he made 58.2 percent while hitting half his 3s. Over seven games from late February to early March, he shot 48.1 percent. The ability is clearly there, it’s just a matter of doing it consistently.

“There’s some weeks where I can just tell something’s wrong or off, and other times when it feels good — and even those times, sometimes you miss shots,” he said. “The biggest thing is trying to shoot it the same way every time, shoot it confidently and shoot it with rhythm.”
